Video by Alex Murphy of an Our Rights DC activist speaking at the Friday, Sep 23 Fridays for the Future/Climate Strike action. Speech focusses on Indigenous aspects of fossil fuel production. It is notable that colonization historically has had capturing raw materials and resources as a major objective.

On the 23ed of September, the "Fridays for the Future" youth climate strike returned to the area around the US Capitol. In addition to demands directly concerning fossil fuels, demands were made for recognition of Indigenous concerns related to fossil fuel extraction, and for cancelling debts in the Global South in return for the cancellation of fossil fuel projects whose outputs would otherwise go to repayment of those "debts."

Indigenous activists have been opposing mining, drilling, fracking etc on or near recognized Indigenous lands for decades, often having to work alone unless or until white activist suddenly become interested. Indigenous activists fought the Keystone XL for years before anyone else outside TransCanada even knew what it was. ALL of Turtle Island is either formally recognized Indigenous land or forciby occupied Indigenous land, so Indigneous objections to destructive extraction projects apply to this entire continental landmass, North, Central, and South.
